Sovereignty

 

I'm not afraid of end days,
because I'm learning
that succumbing to the story
would entail an abdication
that I will not do

I will not allow time
to roll like a wheel,
I will not assume that anything
just happens

I am learning sovereignty
over what moves in thought,
I am learning
what doesn't more in thought
doesn't move at all

I will stand strong
in my place with what's unfolding,
my steps on earth continually
approaching heaven.
